2 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
CoC §14: a furry rewrite of AA's Twelve Traditions
Alamo City''s Code of Conduct §14 publishes a near-verbatim furry rewrite of Alcoholics Anonymous''s Twelve Traditions, substituting "ACFI" for "AA" and "furry" for "alcoholic" across roughly 3,500 words of governance text.
PG before 7pm, R after 7pm in marked areas
ACFI runs a time-and-zone content-rating switch: the convention floor is PG until 7 PM, then flips to R-rated programming after 7 PM in specifically marked areas. The codified time-of-day cutoff is unusual next to the more typical "18+ panels live on a separate track" approach.
